Disappearing choroidal mass: Ophthalmic manifestations of a Presumed Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: to report our findings in a patient with presumed Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. METHODS: report of clinical findings, fundus images, OCT, and ultrasonography. RESULTS: a 19-year-old female patient who presented with an unusual form of symptoms that fit a disease called Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD). A large choroidal mass was observed in the posterior pole, a month later the mass was completely gone. CONCLUSION: large choroidal masses can occur in patients with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, these do not warrant treatment as they are self-limiting.
